NOTE: Carefully read all of the terms and conditions of the

Some keys mentioned below have different names (or no names
at all) on certain keyboards.
In general, a key has the same effect whether or not Shift
is pressed simultaneously, and whether CapsLock is
toggled on or off. Exceptions to this are Del on the
Numeric Keypad and the number keys on the numeric keypad
and the main keyboard, which have different effects
depending on whether NumLock is toggled on or off and/or
whether Shift (or, in some cases, Ctrl) is pressed (see
below).
A beep means that an invalid key has been pressed (unless
the computer's speaker has been toggled off with H).
Alphanumeric keys are used to specify file names and to
respond to menu prompts; press BackSpace (repeatedly if
necessary) and retype to correct; press Enter to complete
a response (no Enter is needed for responses to menu
prompts).
Some prompts require a (Y/N) response. In these cases,
pressing Y or y means yes, and pressing any other key
means no.
Some prompts require a (Y/N/ESC) response. In these cases,
pressing Y or y means yes, pressing Esc cancels the
current operation and usually "backs out" to previous
operation, and pressing any other key means no.
? = access contextual help screen
Esc = cancel current operation and (in most cases) "back out"
to the previous operation (will access prompt for
exiting from PictureThis if pressed enough times);

during transformations of objects and in some other
situations

point of curve being drawn (after both of its
endpoints have been set); if drawing oval or square,
move cursor to other guideline; special uses during
transformations of objects

have been set); special uses during transformation of
